WWE SummerSlam 2019: 5 things the company did right at the PPV

#3 Becky Lynch retains her title

Despite her best efforts, Natalya was unable to dethrone Lynch at 'Slam.

I wasn't exactly looking forward to a Lynch/Natalya match for a title at SummerSlam. While WWE tried to build it up to the best that they possibly could, the problem was that the division wasn't left in the best position following the Superstar Shake-Up. Ember Moon and Bayley were moved to SmackDown while Nia Jax and Ronda Rousey were off of the brand dealing with injuries.

And up until the most recent episode of RAW, Sasha Banks was also missing in action. Had WWE waited to have Lacey Evans challenge for the title down the road, then things would have worked out better. Instead, her three matches for the title were a bit clunky as Evans is still new to both wrestling and the main roster.

They've even had competitors from other shows challenge for titles, so they could have had someone from SmackDown challenge Lynch. They even could have had a triple threat with Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross had they not planned things out the way they did with the tag titles.

Despite the event being in Canada, the crowd was going to be mixed between those cheering for Lynch and those cheering for Nattie. The finish was the right one as no one on RAW is really ready to run with the title the way the Man has.
